Some books that may help you all. I can vouch for many of these, but not the ones in insurance which may be too general for appeal support. Check Amazon or your favorite site for TOC or reviews. Or for all you "ancient" folks, there's always the library...

978-0-7817-5791-1: Complications of Spine Surgery: full description
Written by internationally recognized experts, this book is a comprehensive, practical guide to prevention, recognition, and management of complications in spine surgery. Sections cover the cervical spine and the thoracolumbar/lumbosacral spine and discuss the full range of complications that may be encountered, including those associated with the newest technologies, procedures, and instrumentation.

Each chapter focuses on a specific type of problem and presents "how-to" strategies for avoiding and managing the problem in specific surgical procedures. Of special note are the detailed discussions of complications related to instrumentation. Each chapter includes extensive, up-to-date references. More than 150 illustrations complement the text.
978-0-7817-2528-6: MRI of the Spine: full description

The thoroughly revised and updated Second Edition of this text is part of the popular Lippincott Williams & Wilkins MRI Teaching File Series. The book presents 100 actual case studies that cover a wide range of spinal disorders and demonstrate the use of current MRI techniques to aid in diagnosis.Each case study is illustrated with high-resolution MR images and presented in an easy-to-follow format on a two-page spread. On the left-hand page are the images and the clinical history. On the right-hand page are concise descriptions of the radiographic findings, the diagnosis, and the pathology. This format is ideal for teaching readers how to interpret MR images or for everyday reference at the view box.

Written by an expert renowned for his lucid, well-illustrated explanations of complex pain syndromes, Low Back Disorders: A Medical Enigma provides a clear understanding of the mechanisms underlying functional impairment of the spine. Using 100 new original drawings, Dr. Cailliet demonstrates the functional anatomy and biomechanics of the spine and explains how impaired biomechanics cause symptoms. The book describes in detail the discogenic pathology that is the predominant factor in impairment and clarifies current concepts on the causes of spinal instability. Dr. Cailliet thoroughly reviews treatment options and their physiological basis and offers recommendations on nonsurgical treatment of low back symptoms.

978-0-7817-2948-2: Pocket Atlas of Spinal MRI: full description

Featuring 97 sharp, new images obtained with state-of-the-art scanning technology, the Second Edition of this popular pocket atlas is a quick, handy guide to interpreting magnetic resonance images of the spine. The book shows readers how to recognize normal anatomic structures on MRI scans...and how to distinguish these structures from artifacts.Each page presents a high-resolution image, with anatomic landmarks clearly labeled. Directly above the image are a key to the labels and a thumbnail illustration that orients the reader to the plane of view (sagittal, axial, or coronal). This format--sharp images, orienting thumbnails, and clear keys--enables readers to identify features with unprecedented speed and accuracy.Chapters cover the cervical spine, craniocervical junction, thoracic spine, thoracolumbar junction, lumbar spine, and sacrum. This edition includes a new section on the occipital-cervical junction, with emphasis on the upper cervical ligaments and atlantoaxial articulations.Praise for the previous edition:"No artist's rendition nor photograph of a fixed specimen could match the detail shown here. The authors have painstakingly identified those structures of clinical significance. The quality of the reproductions and the clarity of the identifying arrows, etc. is exemplary....Not only should this booklet prove to be a valuable reference for those clinicians interested in spinal disorders, but also for the next generation of physicians struggling to understand the morphology of the human body."--Journal of Spinal Disorders"An excellent guide for all those interested in learning about the normal magnetic resonance imaging anatomy of the spine and its neural contents."--Neurology"An invaluable reference text for technologists, radiologists, neurologists, and orthopedists alike....This tiny gem will greatly facilitate the transition from the physics lectures of the classroom to the actual acquisition of diagnostic images."--Advance for Radiologic Technologists
